Ange Postecoglou's Celtic press conference in full as he's not falling for familiar 'trap' ahead of Rangers showdown

The boss admits last season's defeat in the semi-finals, though, still sticks in his craw. And he's challenged his players to use it as motivation to pick up another derby win this weekend.
He went on: "You never put those ones to bed, unfortunately. Most people will tell you, certainly players and managers, the ones you aren't successful tend to stick in the memory sometimes longer than the ones where you are successful.
"On the day I still thought we performed well. It was a tight game, we lost in
